Walking through the living room, her eyes passed through the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the snow scene of Shenzhen-Hong Kong City outside, and the night fell on Shenzhen-Hong Kong City, and the city was full of wind and snow to roll up the loneliness of pedestrians.

She pondered, hesitated.

Eventually, she took out Wei Ge's diary, poured a new cup of coffee into her mug, and sat down on the lazy sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

She sighed, lay down slightly, and opened her journal.

"September 26, 2047

I had a heart-to-heart conversation with Queline today, and she said I should go out and walk more.

But I didn't know where to go.

Giving myself a short break from work, I went for a walk by the moat of the city.

The night breeze was blowing, the water seemed to be singing hoarsely, and sadness came up from the bottom of the lake, and I couldn't help but think of that day.

September 26, 2026.

Black.

It was so dark that day.

When I received the call, my whole heart was instantly pinched. I didn't expect that moment to come so quickly.

When washing dishes at Ah Wan's neighbor's house, the so-called "fear" to her is useless, in fact, when things really fall on you, you will have a deep experience.

It turned out that he couldn't handle it completely calmly.

Grief and reluctance will carry hail with them to roll fear up from the infinite abyss.

I swore so much to her, but when I finally stood in front of my mother's operating room, it was difficult to control the messy and painful mood after all. ”

Seeing this, Jiang Suwan couldn't continue.

Heavy emotions squeezed her heart, and memories swept through her mind again.

……

After waiting for five hours, the door to the operating room was slowly pushed open.

He didn't get up and go forward to make some self-delusion inquiry.

A second before the door opened, he already knew that reality would give him a hammer.

Some people have a natural sense of foreknowledge of disasters, especially the people and things they care about – Wei Ge is one of them.

As if sleepwalking, he accepted the fact that his mother was gone.

He sat on the stool with his head bowed and didn't say a word, listening to Cheng Fangguo communicate with the doctors.

……

Doctor: "She's done her best, let's take care of the aftermath...... That kid, care about him a lot. ”

Cheng Fangguo glanced at Wei Ge and nodded lightly: "...... Thank you very much. ”

……

"Xiao Ge, do you want to go see her and say goodbye."

Cheng Fangguo stood in front of Wei Ge, as an elder who cared for him, he was even more sad at this time.

The-for-tat on weekdays is nothing at all, he is just afraid that this child will lose his mother and will not be able to withstand such a big blow.

“…… Why so suddenly? Wei Ge looked up at Cheng Fangguo after being silent for a long time.

It's just that there are no tears in his eyes, and even the light in his eyes is exceptionally clean.

Cheng Fangguo understood what Wei Ge was referring to.

Why would the mother suddenly lose all connection with the world and leave secretly, without the slightest sign at all.

"She's been holding out for a long time, and it's not entirely sudden." Cheng Fangguo put a hand on Wei Ge's shoulder.

Wei Ge did not avoid Cheng Fangguo's contact for the only time, but instead raised a grateful smile slightly, and said in a suppressed voice: "You know, I've always hated being a family, but this time, can I use Cheng Siyu's identity to ask you for something?" ”

Cheng Fangguo nodded, sadness mixed with relief: "Child, you say." ”

"Let him come back."

Wei Ge stood, his gaze spreading to every corner of the hallway.

"In any case, at a time like this, he, as my mother's ex-husband, at least has to come back." The voice is firm, and it is a tone that cannot be refused.

Cheng Fangguo knew that Wei Ge had no energy to argue with him at this moment, so he didn't want to talk about some "father-son relationship" issues.

Watching Wei Ge walk into the operating room, Cheng Fangguo sighed in embarrassment, but it only made his mood heavier.

……

"Mom." Wei Ge crouched down beside his mother like a child and held his mother's hand.

“…… Mother. ”

"You've been tired for so long, I know."

"Mom...... Great work. ”

Finally, in this small space, Wei Ge faced his mother and shed tears.

If you have a mother, you will be more or less childish when you are seventy or eighty, but Wei Ge can no longer continue to be a child at the age of nineteen.

Life gave him his first heaviness, and this heaviness will eventually dissolve in his life.

……

"My mom mentioned that she wanted to stay here."

Standing by the lake with gusting winds, Wei Ge held his mother's urn and chose the National Day to see his mother off.

And the only one who accompanied him was Uncle Chengfangguo.

"Then it's up to her."

"After my mother had me, it seemed that she had suffered all her life." Wei Ge picked up a handful and gently sprinkled it into the lake.

With the wind of longing, sadness seems to have been swept away a lot, except for sobriety.

"For the sake of the child, it is not bitter."

“…… Is it? Wei Ge left this sentence, but he didn't mean to ask, he was just mocking himself.

"My mother loves it, but I have mixed feelings about it."

"I don't know how to continue facing this." Wei Ge lowered his head and closed the box, exhaling cold air.

Cheng Fangguo: "I know that you are already an adult, and your mother often tells me to respect your ideas. ”

Cheng Fangguo: "If you want to leave later, I can accept it." ”

“…… How is he now? Wei Ge was referring to his father, Cheng Zhipeng.

At the funeral, he did come.

It's just that unlike Wei Ge expected, there are no women around him.

Didn't he abandon his mother because of another woman? Wei Ge was just puzzled.

may be because he knew that Wei Ge hated him, so Cheng Zhipeng didn't go to his son to find some senseless sense of existence, and left the funeral scene after staying for a while.

It's like you've never been here.

Cheng Fangguo understood who Wei Ge was referring to.

"Living a normal life."

“…… Let's go back. ”

Wei Ge turned around, wanting to leave the lake, and after taking a few steps, he remembered:

"I'll take a leave of absence in the past few days and go back to Qinshu City."

Cheng Fangguo nodded in understanding and agreed with his idea - at this time, he especially needed to be distracted, but too much external interference might be counterproductive.

……

After Uncle Wang's son's funeral was over, Jiang Xu followed his grandmother to his house from time to time to sit down to relieve the grief in Uncle Wang's heart.

Jiang Su was writing her own test papers on the side, while her grandmother was chatting with Uncle Wang about her parents' shortcomings.

As she wrote her homework, she began to get distracted - today is the National Day, and tomorrow is her birthday.

But...... There was no news from Wei Ge.

It seems that the world has evaporated, and what is even more strange is that the head teacher Cheng Fangguo did not ask Wei Ge's whereabouts at all - thinking about it like this, maybe the head teacher knows Wei Ge's whereabouts, otherwise how could he not ask as an uncle.

Jiang Suwan has always been an arrogant person.

There is no news about Wei Ge, who has always been very "attentive", suddenly not contacting her - for this matter, she is more inclined to inaction.

But again...... There is simply no way not to act......

The 27th, the day after the funeral, was Sunday.

Jiang Suwan sent a message to Wei Ge out of kindness, telling him that he could come to his house, or go to his house to help him with tuition.

However, the message sent out was as if it had sunk into the sea, and it did not get a response from half a punctuation mark.

Jiang Suwan had doubts, worries, and embarrassment.

Looking at Wei Ge's messages to herself every day, and then comparing this unresponsive message, the strong sense of disparity made her very uncomfortable.

But when he was uncomfortable, another voice in his heart explained for him:

"Could something have happened to him?"

But the strange thing is that he still delivered the dishes in the morning, but they were directly placed at the door of Jiang Suwan's house, and no one saw him - maybe he didn't deliver them in person at all.

Taking the opportunity of going out to buy salt, Jiang Suwan deliberately passed by the door of Wei Ge's house, just like seeing him for the first time.

But today, there is no wet floor after rain, no rainbow light in the sky, and no Weigo.

She had always walked fast, but as she passed his door, she involuntarily slowed down, and her heart abandoned all arrogance, and even tried to call him up.

Wei Ge ......

After taking a few steps, she had to stop.

After the struggle, she still turned around and walked to the door of Wei Ge's house.

As if afraid to give up, she raised her hand and knocked on the door as soon as she stopped.

……

Jiang Fengjuan was talking to Uncle Wang about Jiang Suwan's study, and naturally both of their attention shifted to Jiang Suwan.

"Late? What's wrong with you, girl? Seeing her granddaughter sighing, Grandma Jiang couldn't help but worry.

Jiang Suwan was called back to her senses by her grandmother, and quickly shook her head: "I'm fine, I'm fine." ”

She smirked again: "The topic is a bit difficult. ”

"It's okay, if you can't think of it, then you don't want to, let's do it later."

"But my girl is tired, and she either studies or studies all day long." Grandma Jiang turned her head and said helplessly at Uncle Wang.

Jiang Suwan's heart was disturbed by some emotions, and she stood up holding the book: "Grandma, I'll go back first, and I'll finish eating soon." ”

"Okay, I'll talk to your Uncle Wang for a while, and I'll be back later."

Uncle Wang looked at Jiang Suwan's sensible back, and couldn't help but sigh: "This child has been sensible since he was a child, and he doesn't worry about it at all." ”

Grandma Jiang smiled bitterly: "Sometimes I really wish I could her heart, she is too tired." ”

Uncle Wang: "Don't worry, this child will definitely become a big man in the future." ”

Grandma Jiang smiled relievedly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to see it then." ”

……

After listening to her grandmother's words, Jiang Su was willing to raise her legs and leave the door of Uncle Wang's house in the evening.

Can't see it?

I have to let my grandmother see it as soon as possible!

Jiang Suwan walked home with a slightly heavy heart, not wanting to meet a girl who was about the same age as him at the entrance of the alley.

The girl walked up to Jiang Suwan with red eyes: "I'm sorry, may I ask if there is a person named Wang Zihao here?" ”

"Wang Zihao?" Jiang Suwan was a little surprised.

It's not that she doesn't know who this name is - Uncle Wang's son is called Wang Zihao.

Since this girl has found Nanxiang, it must be this Wang Zihao who is looking for her.

It's just that Wang Zihao is no longer there, why would anyone still look for him?

Jiang Suwan thought for a while and didn't tell the truth directly: "Do you mean Wang Chengde's son?" ”

The girl shook her head and nodded, "I don't know what his father's name is, but I know he lives here, he told me." ”

Jiang Suwan: "May I ask who you are?" Is there anything to find him? ”

The girl smiled wryly, and her eyes turned a little red.

"My name is Su Kexun, and I'm his girlfriend."

"Our school organized an event here on National Day, and I rushed here during the break."

In an instant, Jiang Suwan understood everything.

Wang Zihao, although Jiang Xu has almost no communication on weekdays, she knows that he has a girlfriend......

However, it must not be the girl in front of you.

Looking at her innocent appearance, she must be a simple child who was deceived by that scumbag.

Jiang Suwan raised a friendly smile and tried to comfort the other party: "He went abroad because of some things before. ”

"Actually......" Jiang Suwan wanted to tell some lies to deceive her and let her leave with a smile, but she looked at the other party's expectant eyes and couldn't say it.

Is it reasonable to treat sincerity with lies? Isn't that right......

"He told me to break up before, and I came to him to say goodbye in person, but...... I didn't expect him to go abroad directly. ”

"I'm sorry to disturb you, little sister."

……

Until the girl named Su Kexun left here, Jiang Suwan still echoed her words in her mind.

Even if you break up, you have to say goodbye, this attitude towards life is very respectable.

And thinking like this, Jiang Xuwan inexplicably settled the heart that was uneasy because of Wei Ge.

Wei Ge has always been very principled and respectful of Jiang Suwan in his treatment of Jiang Suwan.

So...... This time, Jiang Suwan chose to believe Wei Ge.

She was willing to wait for him to come back.

She wanted to wait for him to come back.

I turned around with a tidying mood and prepared to enter the house, not wanting another unexpected person to appear in front of me.

Xuzhou's eyes were locked on him, and Jiang Suwan couldn't ignore it.

until he stood still in front of himself.

Jiang Suwan: "What's wrong?" ”

Xuzhou just laughed, showing some unique laziness at dusk on the National Day of the small southern city.

"Happy birthday."

Jiang Suwan's eyes widened slightly, extremely puzzled, and even puzzled to seriously recall his birthday date again:

"My birthday is tomorrow...... You? ”

Xu Xu continued to smile: "I know. ”

Xuzhou: "But I want to wish you a happy birthday today." ”

In this way, he stopped talking and did not continue to speak, and the voice that should have been spoken was also hidden by him after dusk and sunset.

In the just dusk, with the festive atmosphere of the whole country's celebration, I mustered all the courage to say happy birthday to her on an inexplicable day, just hoping to make this day different for Jiang Suwan because of Xuzhou.

"Are you just here to talk to me about this?" Jiang Suwan took a step back awkwardly, her tone a little helpless.
